My Sweet Dreams Come Through Horses


It is The weekend.
This is what I want to do.
This is who I want to be.
This is who I am deep in my soul.


But this is where you probably will find me.
Having my very sweet dreams 
that only come to me through horses.

I miss my boy.

Hate Speech Against Woman - How Far Have We Come?


A glorious day for Women's Suffrage.


I can tell you FIRST hand that we do not yet make the same pay.



It is a sad state of affairs that in this country 
we are either discriminated against-
or brain washed by religion.
{..like the Muslim countries}
{it's true} 
and isn't ironic ?????
 The very thing we are fighting against in wars ....
we are now doing to our own citizens.
And WE ARE CITIZENS!!!!

As A Woman
It is not an easy task to be treated as an equal,
and with respect.
If you are tough, 
smarter than most of the people you work with...
you are considered a BITCH.
Not so if you are a man acting in the exact same manor. 
You would be considered a savvy business man,
and a good leader. 



{historical document}

And finally after such a hard and brave fight we won.
Let us not forget the women who accomplished this for the rest of us.

We now seem to going backwards.
Taking away birth control 
by telling us to hold an aspirin between our knees....
OR
Being lambasted by a hate speaker like Rush Limbaugh.

If it had been my daughter that he called a slut because she stood up for a woman's
right to birth control.
I would have slapped him so fast with a law suit....
HIS BIG STUPID HEAD WOULD SPIN!!!

My bigger question is to the Republicans who condone 
Rush Limbaugh by remaining silent.
What's up with that ?
Oh, right.
They are pathetic little scared-y cats!!
I forgot.
I still wonder what they would have done if it were their very own daughter
that Rush called a slut.
Hmmmmmm?

okay, I'm done and feel much better.

John Stefanidis



I find this man to be  one of romance.
and I think
he has a rich and refined soul .



GENIUS!!


This surprises even me.
This one has me with the art work!!!!
This room is unpredictable.
Look at the carpet, the chairs, and the art.

I love it.


Gasp!


To the right of this image
he has used ONYX behind the shelving/bar.
I love ONYX.


He intrigues me.
He recently posted a touching poem on his blog.
It sucked me in ….
And I instantly became more interested in john stefanidis
It was truly a hook in my heart. I will forever be curious about him.

Here is the  POEM that he posted;

Steve Smith – Not waving But Drowning

Nobody heard him,the dead man
But still he lay moaning;
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.

Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he is dead.
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said. 
oh, no no no, it was cold always
{still the dead one lay moaning}
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.

What are you thoughts?
Do you like his work?

***Mr Stefanidis has several books out.
i can't wait to get my hands on them.


here is his BLOG     http://johnstefanidis.blogspot.com/

The Story Of Geese - You Really Need To Read This


I am going to share one of my very FAVORITE STORIES with you.
The Story of GEESE
Here goes;

Next fall, when you see Geese heading South for the Winter, flying along in V formation, you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way:
As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following.
By flying in V formation the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
People who share a common direction and a sense of community can get where they are going, more quickly and easily, because they are travelling on the thrust of one another.
When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone ... and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front.
If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed the same way we are.
When the Head Goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point.
It's sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs with people or with geese flying south.
Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
What do we say when we honk from behind?
Finally...and this is important...when a goose gets sick, or is wounded by gunshots, and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly, or until it dies; only then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation to catch up with their group.
If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other like that.




Don't you wish everyone you knew followed these kind, loving
and simple guide lines?
Wouldn't this world be a better place ?

Maps Maps Maps


I will never tire of them.
Old ones,
new ones....
Never will I be bored by what they bring to a room.





This I thought was BRILLIANT!!!


I adore this room.

....and of course the over used Paris Map wall covering can be found here;



This image had me at first glance but it does need a bit of tweeking.
The chesterfield sofa needs to be well worn. {no kidding}
The trunk needs to be L.V.
The table and lamp need work as well.

Do you not agree????



I loved this simply because of all the blue & green.
{the bed does sort of look like prison quarters though}


Hey,
get the kid started early.....
And this is a room one can grow into with a few furniture changes.


Don't you just love all the varieties???
Do you have a great idea in map application other than what has been shown in this post??
Do share with me.


Maps are the best.....
but let's not go crazy and build a 20 foot scale one!

OR

Maybe that would be just fine .....
it is all in the application.

NO?

What are your thoughts
my dear brilliant blogger friends ?

About Renée Finberg

I have been in this business since the age of 22.

Design Challenges are great.

And because of those challenges

I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,

Designed and Manufactured Furniture,

Created Fantastic Window Treatments,

Just Great Design.

Just imagine how it would be if each of us,

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
